Finished it, and I must say that
Spoiler:
I got a feeling that we're already reaching the bottom of Beatrice as character, and there're (most likely) more than 4 episodes to go, including Answer arcs. That's rather fast if she will remain as the final villain of series, if you ask me... maybe 34 or someone else's gonna take over the role of last boss? Last edited by Thisguy; 2008-08-18 at 04:53.

I suppose it's just us non-Japenese speakers pestering everyone for answers. Thanks for answering them, by the way.
Otherwise, how are the Battler/Kyrie interactions going? Or is Battler unable to interact with his stepmother, despite her being alive for once? (That's not a question that requires a spoilerific answer, is it?) |

I'm just done with Episode 3, and I can say that Ryukishi has the title of the most crazy author being the MOST unpredictable ever.
Episode 2 was full of "twists", but these are ridiculous compared to the sheer amount in episode 3, in a extremely good way. I can't say much aside that the plot is exactly like in higurashi: the first 2 episodes give the premises, then the third one (Tatarigoroshi/Banquet of the Golden Witch) is just a huge nuke on the face. Spoiler for impressions:
My only complain would be some "dragged" moments (such like the adults discussion in early chapter), and the fact "in" tea parties are much more important than the ongoing plot itself. But this episode just blows away the first 2, it was absolutely awesome. (more thoughts to come)

Great, while you guys got all the EP3 in details
We can only rely on your translations for help...Anyways It seems like more witches decided to join the battle...or is it? I saw a new witch in someone's fanart, and pretty common in a lot's with no emotions Great, guess Ryukishi thinks Stakes are not enough for Rokkenjima =_= |

Got to say it, I love this game more than any of Ryuukishi's previous ones. There are a lot of 'holes'(in a good way), things that the characters in the game don't realize that might be hints or things to mislead the readers. Honestly, I wondered from the beginning of umineko how ryuukishi could possibly continue to trick his readers after they learned not to trust anything he wrote in higurashi, but this game had a half dozen times where the plot shifted in completely unpredictable ways, and most of those I didn't see coming.
Spoiler for End of game:
